Thanks to Akevitt for sharing. coriander, wheat, and citrus aroma. Same in the flavor, but there are some hops in here. Bright color, cloudy yellow. A medium sweet wit, with all of the classic flavors and the interesting addition of the hops. Very good.

Thanks to akevitt for sharing this. Bottle, batch 358. Pours a slightly hazy, pale yellow-gold body white head. Mainly a malty aroma with citrus and a light wheat tone. Flavor is similar with more of a lemon citrus taste and a slight pine hop near the finish. Zesty carbonation.

From 500ml bottle (Batch 358) and shared by Akevitt, pours a semi-hazy golden colored brew with a thin white head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt, some wheat, coriander, orange zest and a touch of lemon. Taste is medium to full bodied, some carbonation with flavors of coriander, wheat malt, some white pepper, lemon zest and orange. Finish has a white pepper bite with a thin coriander and wheat aftertaste.

Scandinavian Beer Night. Thanks to Akevitt for pulling this tasting together and all the gems! Hazy gold color with a thin head. Aroma of coriander, sweet orange and light wheat. Light coriander taste, lots of wheat. Quite yeasty. A perfumy finish. Very thick.

Pours a cloudy straw approaching amber, with a inch high head that shows great persistence. Lots of herbal and earthy hops on the nose, along with the more tradition sweet orange peel, coriander, wheat and lemon. Perhaps too much hops, especially for the style. Flavour is equally hoppy, as well as lemon and wheat. Much more bitter than expected. Good lively carbonation.

500ml bottle Batch 395 Brewed 19.11.08 BB 19.11.10 Pours a pale yellow-gold body with slight hazy. Atop sits a decent sized, persistant cap of bubbly foam. Nice aroma, plenty of citrus peel and coriander, as to be expected, but seems to go that little bit further with some dried apricot, wheat cereal, pepper and hay. Medium weight, reasonably high but soft carbonation, dry texture with a good balance of acidty. Coriander spice is upfront, a few underlying hints of clove and pepper in the works, cereal malts join in, not particularly sweet but somehow sustaining. Orange and grapefruit citrus towards the finish, hints of apricot and unripe stonefruits linger on a dry, slighty tart finish. Very well made and enjoyable Witbier. Highly drinkable with enough flavour to entice.

Bottle@Home. Strong coriander aroma with a hint of banana. Cloudy, yellow colour, white head, good lace. Light sweet, bitter, loads of coriander, lemon peels, hint of grapefruit. Medium body, harsh bitter finish. Flavourful and certainly different.
